The Charleston Alphas Sickle Cell Awareness 5K Run Walk is scheduled for September 19, 2026, in North Charleston, South Carolina. The event takes place at 1455 Monitor Street and is presented as a 5 kilometer run and walk. It is organized by Beta Kappa Lambda and held to raise awareness of sickle cell anemia.
The event seeks financial support through individual and corporate sponsorships. Contributions are designated to fund scholarships, educational programs, economic empowerment programs, the COBRA Sickle Cell Anemia Program, and national programs. The COBRA Human Services Agency Sickle Cell Program focuses on raising public awareness about sickle cell anemia and on efforts to improve quality of life for people affected by the condition. Services associated with the program include education, testing, counseling, assistance to those affected by sickle cell disease, and support of research where patient health is a high priority. Organizers describe sickle cell anemia as a highly neglected cause in the community and request participation in the services offered by COBRA for patients and families.
